1. There are about 100 pre-selected partners already who have signed agreements with Google.

For now, the systemâ€™s scope, and its potential to deliver new revenue to Google, is limited, because only about 100 media companies that have created YouTube videos will be participating.

Google declined to give a full list of participants, but of those it listed, none were large media companies. They include Expert Village, a producer of how-to videos; Ford Models, a modeling agency; and Extreme Elements, which creates videos about extreme sports. Over time, Google expects to use AdSense to syndicate other types of content besides video, the company said.

3. If you look at the partners, they have mostly high-quality, good video content in a targeted niche.

Summary: Becoming a YouTube partner takes one thing. You need to make high-quality, well-lit, good content solving videos. And you need to make a lot of them. Then, and only then will you be able to apply for a partner status and if accepted the big bucks will start rolling in.

Actual Amazon.com Reviews...

"Jim Kukral's new book pisses me off. And not because it's a lousy book, and reading it was a waste of time. His book pisses me off because in it, Jim interviews really, really, successful people who ARE living their dreams. And, I'm jealous. I want a turn, you know?"- Joel Libava

"I loved this short, informative, encouraging e-book. The stories of others who have been successful building a business around their lifestyle is a wake up call for me to get off my butt and do it! Thanks Jim for this book!"- Sienna

"I was having kind of a blah day, I read this book, now I feel like a million bucks and have renewed inspiration to go make a million bucks."- Eric Woodard

I recently got invited to be a YT partner. I was never looking to be one or expecting to be contacted. I just love to make videos and interact with people. and here I am a partner. I am very thankfull. Jay from RIPFILMS

Anti-Haters it not about hate, it’s all about Youtube(Google) slowly turning againt long term users and supporting big money (RIPFILMS) over little startups like (AtheneWins) as Athene says net neutrality has gone to the dogs.

look at Google(Youtube) selling out Chinese people by telling on them to their government, The same Google(Double Click) that is tracking PayPal payments if YOU like it or not.

Google(Youtube) souled their souls long ago.

Ryan your deluding yourself you wont see any dirty Youtube money no matter how many Google Execs YouBlow.
